52. Discourses and Dissertations on the Scriptural Doctrines of Atonement and Sacrifice. By William MAGEE, D.D., [late] | Archbishop of Dublin. A new edition. London, 1832, 3 vols. 8vo.

50-52.-Each of these truly valuable works was published in defence of that cardinal doctrine of the Christian Revelation, the supreme Deity of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: but they claim a distinct notice in this place, on account of the very numerous philological and critical explanations of important passages of Scripture which they contain. From frequently consulting them, the writer of these pages can with confidence state, that they are works of which the student will never regret the purchase: each contains most valuable matter peculiar to itself; and, together, they form the most elaborate defence and proof of the Deity of Jesus Christ extant in our language. The value of Archbishop Magee's and Dr. Smith's works is enhanced by their learned vindications of many important passages of the Sacred Scriptures from the erroneous interpretations of the modern Socinians, as well as the recent neologian commentators of Germany.

57. Biblical Criticism on the first fourteen Historical Books of the Old Testament; also on the first nine Prophetical Books. By Samuel HORSLEY, LL.D., Bishop of St. Asaph. London, 1820, 4 vols. 8vo.

Besides the critical pieces mentioned in the title-page, these volumes (which are edited by the author's son, the Rev. Heneage Horsley) contain three valuable disquisitions, published in the bishop's lifetime, viz. 1. A general view of the first three chapters of Genesis, together with an inquiry into the etymology and import of the Divine Names of Eloah, Elohim, El, Jehovah, and Jah; which originally appeared in the British Critic, for 1802, in a review of the late Dr. Geddes's remarks on the Hebrew Scriptures. 2. A Critical Disquisition on the Eighteenth Chapter of Isaiah; and. 3. The Translation of the Prophecy of Hosea (noticed p. 142. supra). These are inserted as revised by their author. At the end of the fourth volume are translations of several Sacred Songs, with Critical Notes on them, and on a few other Sacred Pieces, of which the bishop has not given versions.

"This interesting book is clearly the production of a mind pious and cultivated, enriched by science and enlarged by various information; adapted especially to guard the young against the too welcome theories of skepticism: it will also afford to the general reader both gratification and improvement. It chiefly consists of striking facts deduced from the labours of modern inquiry, of allu sions gleaned from literature, of memorials of past events scattered over the relics of by-gone times, in sculptures, gems, and medals; and its object is, to apply these various materials to the illustration and establishment of the sacred records; as well as to express the conviction, that the foundations of a scriptural hope are not to be shaken by advancing knowledge, nor ultimately injured by the rash assaults of a class of men, who, aspiring to be deemed the that the stimulus by which their industry is excited is the vain votaries of philosophy, give too much reason for the suspicion, expectation of some discovery adverse to the Christian religion, rather than zeal for the promotion of science."

The original of this work was a Hebrew concordance of Rabbi The particles of all languages, and especially those of the HeNathan, a learned Jew, published at Venice in 1523, in folio, with brew, are not only of great importance, but very difficult to be fully great faults and defects. A second and much more correct edition understood. The Hebrew particles, indeed, were very imperfectly of Nathan's work was printed at Basil by Froben.

His Concordance of them is so complete, that it has left tended Nathan's work into four large volumes, by adding, 1. A scarcely any thing unfinished; and it is of the greatest importance Latin Translation of the Rabbi's explanation of the several roots, to every biblical student and critic. The first impression appeared with additions of his own; 2. The Rabbinical, Chaldee, Syriac, in 1650. The second is the best edition; and, besides the valuable and Arabic words derived from, or agreeing with, the Hebrew notes, and other additions of J. G. and S. B. Tympius, it contains, root in signification; 3. A literal version of the Hebrew text; by way of Appendix, a Lexicon of the Hebrew Particles, compiled 4.

Concordance (noticed below) was properly the fourth edition of Nathan's work, as Mr. Romaine's edition is the fifth. The last is a splendid and useful book.

Besides the critical pieces mentioned in the title-page, these volumes (which are edited by the author's son, the Rev. Heneage Horsley) contain three valuable disquisitions, published in the bishop's lifetime, viz. 1. A general view of the first three chapters of Genesis, together with an inquiry into the etymology and import of the Divine Names of Eloah, Elohim, El, Jehovah, and Jah; which originally appeared in the British Critic, for 1802, in a review of the late Dr. Geddes's remarks on the Hebrew Scriptures. 2. A Critical Disquisition on the Eighteenth Chapter of Isaiah; and, 3. The Translation of the Prophecy of Hosea (noticed p. 142. supra). These are inserted as revised by their author. At the end of the fourth volume are translations of several Sacred Songs, with Critical Notes on them, and on a few other Sacred Pieces, of which the bishop has not given versions.

The candid of the literati of the Romish communion have extolled his labours: and even Morgan and Gibbon, professed unbelievers, have awarded to him the meed of faithfulness and impartiality. With his name is associated the praise of deep erudition, accurate research, sound and impartial judgment, and unblemished candour. The publication of his works constituted a new æra in the annals of Christianity: for, by collecting a mass of scattered evidences in favour of the authenticity of the evangelical history,

he established a bulwark on the side of truth which infidelity has never presumed to attack. His "Credibility," and his "Collection of Jewish and Heathen Testimonies," may be said to have given the deistical controversy a new turn, and to have driven the assailants of the Gospel from the field of Christian antiquity, in which they esteemed themselves securely intrenched, into the by-paths of sarcasm and irony. How amply we are indebted to the elaborate researches of the learned and accurate Dr. Lardner, the numerous references to his writings in the course of the present work will sufficiently attest. The quarto edition has corrected indexes. The octavo edition of 1827 is sold at a very reasonable price, and its typographical execution is truly beautiful. Our references to Dr. Lardner's works are made to the quarto edition, and also to the octavo edition of 1789.

79. A Common-Place-Book; or Companion to the New Testament; consisting of Illustrations of difficult passages; apparent Contradictions and Inconsistencies reconciled; and the Conformity of some Important facts mentioned in Scripture, with the Statements of Profane Authors. By the Rev. S. LONGHURST, B.A. Richmond and London, 1833, 8vo.

This compilation contains most of the passages in the New Testament, which have arrested the attention of the captious opposer or the ingenuous critic. The compiler has undertaken it "for the English reader, and for those who may have but little acquaintance with the technicality and intricacies of biblical criticism." This Introduction to the critical Study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures has been laid under a large contribution. The remainder of the compiler's materials are derived from Mr. Burder's Oriental Customs, the Commentaries of Ostervald, Doddridge, &c. Mr. Valpy's very valuable edition of the Greek Testament, and the works of Josephus; and for those passages which are quoted in the New Testament from the Old, the compiler states that the Greek Septuagint and the Hebrew text have been carefully compared.

These "Notes" are not numerous, but they contain some good illustrations of confessedly difficult passages of Scripture: they were published anonymously.

One of the rarest little books of sacred criticism. Dr. Harwood calls this a very useful collection, containing many excellent notes on particular passages of the New Testament.

The writer states the doctrine of St. John relative to the divine

and human natures of Jesus Christ, and then compares them with the writings of the first three evangelists, and the remaining books of the New Testament. The conclusion to which the author arrives is, that the evangelist is not an impostor, and consequently that the writings bearing his name are his genuine productions.

104. Corrections of various passages in the English Version of the Old Testament, upon the authority of ancient manuscripts, and ancient versions, by the late W. H. ROBERTS, D.D., Provost of Eton College. Published by his son W. Roberts, M.A. London, 1794, 8vo.

"The biblical scholar will infallibly receive with pleasure these remarks. from a man of undoubted learning and ingenuity. The chief intention of Dr. Roberts seems to have been that of lessening the number of words supplied in Italic in our public version, as not answering literally to any words in the Hebrew, by showing that in some cases they are unnecessary, and that in some, the sense may be filled up by other means. There are also many remarks

Mr. van der Marck formed a design of representing on copperplates the most memorable events in sacred history; and he engaged Mr. Saurin to write an explanation of the plates; this gave rise to the discourses here published.

These fragments are not critical elucidations of particular texts; but they are written with much elegance, and the authoress has introduced some of the finest practical and devotional thoughts of the Jansenist writers, particularly the accomplished and much traduced recluses of Port Royal. But her critical remarks on the authorized English version are not always correct.

Græcarum Veteris Testamenti Lectione genuina: the object of which disquisition is to prove that, in citing the words of the Old Testament, the Fathers were in many respects inaccurate, partly from their using faulty MSS., and partly from a failure of memory, which led them sometimes to substitute not only one word for another, but even to change whole members of a sentence: and, 2.

The design of Mr. Wakefield, in the plan of this work, was the union of theological and classical learning-the illustration of the Scriptures by light borrowed from the philology of Greece and Rome, as a probable method of recommending the books of revelation to scholars. How ably this design was executed the reader may see in the different critical journals of that time, where Mr. W.'s peculiar notions on some points are considered. (See particu571., and vol. xvi. p. 235.) An Examen of his work was published by H. C. A. Haenlein, in four small tracts, printed at Erlang, in 4to. 1798-1801.

The dissertations collected in this volume were, for the most part, published separately between the years 1772, 1775, 1781, are fifteen in number, and are highly valued on the continent. They comprise philologico-critical observations on the hymn of Deborah (Judg. v.), on various passages of the Books of Psalms and Job, on Isaiah xxvii., Ezekiel xxi., Habakkuk iii., and the prophecy of Obadiah; besides two valuable dissertations, on the difficulty of determining the age of Hebrew Manuscripts, and on the Arabic Pentateuch in Bishop Walton's edition of the Polyglott Bible.

This treatise was reprinted, together with other pieces of Prof. Schulten's, under the title of Opera Minora, Lugduni Batavorum et Leovardiæ, 1769, 4to. In this work Schultens has made great use of the Arabic language to illustrate Hebrew words and phrases, although he generally adduces passages from the grammarians and prose writers. The philological interpretations which he thus deduces he places in contradistinction to those which the traditions of the rabbins had preserved.

Though published in reply to Tindal's declamatory libel against revealed religion, this publication claims a distinct notice on account of its satisfactory elucidation and vindication of many, and some of them difficult, passages in the Old Testament. They are arranged, not in the desultory way in which Tindal introduced them, to give point to his jests and sarcasms, but as the texts stand in holy writ; so as to form a regular series of expository illustra tions. Part I. comprises the book of Genesis; Part II. carries on the examination of texts from the book of Exodus to the second book of Kings; and Part III. extends through the remaining books of the Old Testament. Various passages in the book of Job, the Psalms, and the Prophets, charged by infidel writers with incon sistency, injustice, or absurdity, are here examined; and, occa sionally, some collateral topics are entered into, tending to their further elucidation. Bp. Mant and Dr. D'Oyly have made considerable use of Waterland's labours. For an account of the controversies into which the publication of "Scripture Vindicated" compelled him to enter, the reader is referred to pp. 153-173. of his Life by Bp. Vanmildert, forming vol i. part i. of his edition of Dr. Waterland's Works.

Biblical Gleanings; or a Collection of Passages of Scripture, that have generally been considered to be mistranslated in the received English Version, with proposed corrections; also the important various readings in both Testaments, and occasional notes, interspersed with a view to the illustration of obscure and ambiguous texts, with several other matters tending to the general elucidation of the Sacred Writings. By Thomas WEMYSS. York, 8vo.

The ample title-page of this work sufficiently indicates the design of the industrious compiler: in the compass of little more than 250 pages, it presents a variety of important corrections of a multitude of obscure or ambiguous passages in the sacred writings,
